CHIP CONLEY

Entrepreneur and Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy at Airbnb

Chip Conley is the founder of Joie de Vivre, the second-largest boutique hotel company in the world, which he ran for 24 years. His success in a notoriously volatile industry was based on a philosophy that recognised the most basic needs of both their clients and their employees and created a business focused on transformation and relevance. Today, as the Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy at Airbnb, he shares his proven methods with hosts in almost 200 countries.

Chip has also developed his philosophy for success in business in a series of bestsellers. In Peak: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow, he looks at how psychologist Abraham Maslow’s iconic hierarchy of needs theory is fundamental when liberating clients’, employees’ and assets’ talent and loyalty.

In his latest book, Emotional Equations: Simple Truths for Creating Happiness + Success, he takes us from emotional intelligence to emotional fluidity, placing meaning and purpose at the top of the balance sheet.
